No to a new car so.....

[Hazza]

After all this faffing about looking for a new car, my gf had a chat with me and so did my brother, they think its best, to just maintain the 1.2 and keep it for a bit longer, until i can afford a decent and mint CTR.

I have agreed, and have now stopped looking for a new car to replace the 1.2

However, apart from maintaining the 1.2, such as Servicing (tomorrow) and cambelt change (next week)

I will do the following mods.

172 rear bumper
Lower 60mm
Exhaust system

 

[caeteez]

Sounds good. Where are you hoping to source the bumper from?

 

[Ben.]

keep it as it is imo

use the money to save for the new car

My car is on 40mm at the moment..its fine at the mo, but i probably would go lower if i could.

Haz, why not get your mate to remove his 172 bumper from ebay?

 

[Hazza]

He has been offered £80 collected, so im not sure... could i find cheaper?

yeah. though i replaced mine with the same sized engine. it saved all year and got somehitng better. i spent very little on it and here i am. not gunna do much in the way of mods on mine.

No point modifying if you're looking to save for a CTR mate.

 

[Hazza]

Well whats a few hundred pounds going to do towards my saving for a CTR... not a lot, so might aswell.

Def a 172 rear bumper tho.

with that mentality you will never save enough money for the Honda. The mods will just be wasted if you're "saving" for a new car.

Not really. I can use money that i have at the moment to get a rear bumper, and save up after doing this right?....

 

[AlexS]

Or stop messing about with the 1.2 put it back to standard how Renault intended it and save up for something proper. No point modding a car you intend to sell.

 

[Marcus---]

Surely if your saving you shouldnt bother with any mods...especially not a new exhaust system (think of the pennys saved on petrol by not having one!)

172 Bumper is a fair call...but...if you get one then surely bumper colour coding is needed?

Yea, i guess no exhaust then, never thought about that.

But a 172 bumper, would mean that i should color code, but i think i will go the f0xy approach, and color code the rear bumper of course, and side strips, but leave the front.

 

[AlexS]

Nice edit!

 

[Hazza]

Edit?

 

[fUbAr]

Nice edit!

lol, although what i wrote was true... it was probably uncalled for

Haz, personally I think you should save up & buy the ctr if it's what you really want. I would forget about modding the 1.2 & leave it as it is. I'd stop spunking money out on whatever mods seem a good idea at he time.

Well i have always liked the way f0xy's rear bumper looked, so i thought it was time to get one for myself.

After that, no touchy with the moddys! I promise
